BBC Music MagazineA riveting solo debut recital from the young Dutch mezzo Christianne Stotijn... A gust of wind blows this recital in, and blows it out: Stotijn and her robustly proactive accompanist Joseph Breinl start with the raging storms of Schubert's 'Im Walde', and end with Wolf's setting of Mörike's 'Lied vom Winde'. In the Schubert, in particular, Stotijn achieves a rare fusion: she evokes simultaneously both the physical scene and the inner soul-state, which responds to it.
